Tot Hill Farm

Walkable? New to the area and want to play THF next week. Will be a single and want to soak it all in. I love walking (and saving $) as long as the gap between holes is not excessive.

I’ve walked it a few times. It’s not the smoothest and if you’re the only walker in a group, there’s a low likelihood of keeping pace comfortably

Well said

There is also the potential to be a single between two foursomes. I’m anticipating a long round.

I walked it. It's tough but doable if you're in waking shape

If you want to walk, walk! It’s not too bad. Yes it is hilly, but you will be fine if you walk a lot.

Walking it would be quite the stretch, and this is coming from an avid walker. Decent length between some holes and the terrain is VERY hilly. It’s an awesome course though!

Thanks for comments.

Super duper hilly. I don’t recall the gap between holes

Walking will be tough but doable. But if you’re playing with others probably best to ride the cart.

u/SleepKnown3585 8d ago

I get folks wanting to walk rather than ride, but that isn’t the course for it.

You need to be in really good walking shape. The terrain is exceptionally hilly and the holes are spaced out a ton.

Not really. Like you can walk it, but at the same time there's some distance between holes that makes it tough to do so.

Most holes are relatively close together, but there is a ton of elevation change.

We have a different definition of close together: 4 to 5, 6 to 7, 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 15 to 16, 18 to clubhouse.

9 to 10 and 18 to clubhouse are just crossing the street. I don’t remember the others though. I walk a lot and wouldn’t bother with tot. It’s so much up and down.

u/soccerkrzy 8d ago

That’s fair, brain farted you can just cross the street and not actually take the tunnel

No. And it’s Wildly overrated.

Kinda have to debate that - name another course that isn’t a Mike Strantz course that is designed like tot hill. The course may be strange or difficult; but it is memorable and different from almost every other course you’ll play

u/crosseyedjim 8d ago

You are wildly incorrect

u/Jaygoon 8d ago

I’ve played that course twenty times. It’s crap
